Objectively this is very funny.

It'll be less funny when India win the thing with no losses, but it is very funny.

Good lord, can they turn down the crowd noise. The endless air horn drone is awful.

Have actually done alright bowling. The inevitable batting collapse is going to be even more fun this time

You're not wrong.

EDIT - This is going to be embarrassing.

Taking Stokes was a massive gamble that just hasn't paid off.

This is firmly into 'this is funny' territory.

This really could be the year for South Africa.

Some of these toss decisions have been bizarre. Why would NZ chose to bowl when SA have been dominant in every game they've batted first? And when it's hot, why put India in today?

What do we reckon England get on this track then? I'm going 138.

I'm going to foolishly say that England win this.

I'll be cheering on Afghanistan today (mostly because its the Aussies but also it makes the end of the tournament that little bit more interesting). If Australia win then its a straight shootout between NZ and Pakistan for the last spot. Not sure who has the easier game in Sri Lanka or England.

Edit: won the toss and batting, sensible choice.

They need to be pushing this rate up now, 280 makes this an interesting game. Lower and I think Australia will walk it.

Great innings.

That shot from Rashid Khan at 49.5 was ludicrous.

This could be a corker now pace has seen off a couple of Aussie batters. Bit of spice in it as well with Marsh being particularly annoyed by a comment as he was dismissed.
